I believe he did mate as he was asking if it was ok to use the 8mm pin the crank pulley to hold the crank in place to undo the pulley bolt.  This leads me to believe that both cams and the bottom pulley timed up ok... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

It will all soon become apparant once you get back out there just where everything goes. I know it looks daunting but you will be surprised just how much you remember about the location of things as you start piecing it back together. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

The answer is.............No Whilst everything was out we decided to give everything a good de-gunk. Then the air con annoyed me so that was ripped out. So just back from peugeot with the aditional rollers for a non air con setup. Changed the clutch as well and now thinking whilst i have LOADS of room going to change lower ball joints, droplinks and all related bushes. In general approx £700 later and she will be up and running. But still enjoyed the experience even if my mrs didnt haha ________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |
